It is a perfect time to shop at Lola & Gigi if you have been hemming and hawing about the “price” of designer fashions by Monif C, Melissa Masse and Anna Scholz. There is a select group of fashions that are now up to 50% off. And you can get them all at one place!

The Anna Scholz Crepe de Chine Kaftan is a lovely change to the traditionally horizontal stripes with multiple bold colors and a bit of wave. I also like the side splits which make longer tunic tops feel less constricting and breaks up pattern. It is currently 40% off at $234.99.

The Melissa Masse Josephine Dress is sexy short without being overtly exposed on top. The slightly puffed shoulders and surplice breast are subtle details that give a lovely shape. If you have the legs it is a great show piece for highlighting them. Or if you prefer, some stunning leggings from We Love Colors. This little dark dress is 50% off at $124.99.

The Monif C Marilyn Convertible Dress is probably the best investments that any woman can make. It is a short dress — actually it is over ten short dresses, it also works as a great convertible top with leggings or jeans if hiked up under breasts instead of at waist, then wrapped. It is currently 30% off and because it is a one size fits 8 to 24 you do not have to be disappointed about your size being sold out like some of the other items.

These are just three of my favorite sale items at Lola & Gigi (there are many more). These plus size designer styles are going fast (as I was writing this post one item completely disappeared)!

La Grande Dame added a few new arrivals from plus designers, Melissa Masse, Marina Rinaldi, and Anna Scholz just in time for fall. Three pieces really stood out for me though. The Calogera two piece suit by Marina Rinaldi ($799), the Jersey Wrap Dress by Melissa Masse ($325), and the Acchille Purple Rain Coat by Marina Rinaldi ($546). That Calogera suit would look awesome with the “wisteria” rain coat.

The Wisteria Purple Rain coat will probably be a hot item thanks to Christina Hendrick’s bringing attention to an alternate shade of purple at the Emmy’s this past weekend. We’ve been so focused on deep purple we’ve forgotten about the deep pastels. It’s not an exact match but it’s pretty close and it’s a little more versatile than an evening gown.

Blogging for Canadian Plus Size Women

Every week for the last nine years I have been sharing my favorite things over at PlusShe.com. Once day a loyal reader let me know how disappointed she was she could not make a purchase at one of the places I mentioned because they did not deliver to Canada. I then realized how important a sister site was so PlusShe.ca was born.
